It is UGLY! I never did like the 50's Chevy trucks. Looks like they did a nice job, what a waste.

I thought it was more like somebody running a wooden spoon around the inside of a metal garbage can instead of a whistle. One thing is for sure, there is no other engine that sounds like it (for which I'm thankful).

I think the hood lines are akward. I think the wheels and skinny small car tires suck all the fun right out of it. But, hey, I'm just opining my opinion.

I'm with you on the Mini Pete's and Kenny's, they're awesome. I looked into getting a kit a few years back for a motorhome chassis I had, but couldn't handle the price.

As for the OP's pic, I kinda like it. Though I think I would have gone with the 55 over the 58, and pancaked the hood about 3 inches....
